I would like to thank all.............got lots of good advise.
After driving myself nuts with the multi meter, found the problem to be the "on and off" switch.
The monkey with the soldering iron put big blobs of solder on the wire connections.So close to each other, that there is some bleeding of current between the terminals.
So, when it was switched off.........it was not totally off, draining the battery between flights.
Thanks again for all the help
Pete

Need some help...............
My new ship is using the battery at a unusual high rate. about 15 minutes is all that I am able to get from my 4 cell 800 mil. pack. I have tried replacing the Battery pack, this was my first thought. Did not make any difference.
I have been using the same amount of servos of the same type and the same size battery pack for a number of years. ( in a similar type full house set-up ).
I need some thoughts from all the "Electro-Heads" out there............
